Dona Jean Hatfield, 94, “stepped on shore finding it heaven” on March 15, 2018, at Miller’s Merry Manor, Warsaw.

She was born Aug. 20, 1923, to Paul and Ocie Parker Newcomb. On Oct. 22, 1946, she married George Davis Hatfield, who died Dec. 25, 2009.

A gracious lady, she never had anything bad to say about anyone. She was well-loved by all who knew her, and she reflected the love of Christ in many practical and encouraging ways.
